i think the left has been reflexively anti-LLMs because they haven't been up until recently worth the squeeze, they're emblematic of the continued ignorance of the climate crisis, the worst techbros you know are all in on them, and they're antithetical to the intentionalist view of art, and it's a convenient excuse to cut down on labour costs which are all imo perfectly good reasons to dislike LLMs but i think people are a bit blind to how accurate they've become and still have a view of their tendency to hallucinate based on GPT-3.5 and the memes about google's search summary being confidently incorrect, the latter which is representative of the absolute cheapest bottom of the barrel LLM google has (gemini-flash) and not SOTA which admittedly google has not really pushed.

i personally think 'fascism' is a rhetorically useful concept but not particularly so analytically for the current wave of reacitonary ideology. feel like if it was up to me i would largely keep fascism contained to its historical moment, mostly because someone doesn't need to be fascist to be a genocidal freak as you said with the churchill example.

or i guess less radically it's been a bit overextended in its usage - america is a reactionary empire, but it wasn't fascist in character for a while, and this qualitative shift does have even more negative outcomes than the previous paradigm even if this was probably going to be that stage's result regardless.

thinking of some tweet i saw maybe like two weeks ago about how chinese genshin's worldbuilding is because everything is extremely bureaucratic and un-feudal

i think what stands out the worst personally is just gaiman's recurring disposition of being all 'uwu sowwy for sexually assaulting you can we talk 🥺'

yeah, i mean if it makes you anxious then it clearly is worse for you! i don't want to come off as minimising your struggles, just that examination methods should probably be more flexible in general.

i'm not sure that i agree that oral exams are inherently bad, i just think they need to be taken with the instructor having a spirit of charitability and recognising that students can't remember every little detail. evidently this wasn't the case with you but the typical exam paper format isn't very good for neurodivergent students either in a very different way, like i'd always do awfully in exams by my standards so obviously i'd be more inclined to think that format is worse than oral.

i mean i thought marioslop would flop too and people still gaslit themselves into thinking it was a good movie so idk at this point. still probably, like, team 'minecraft will flop' purely because i feel like i haven't seen anyone sincerely say they thought the trailers were good but at the same time it's possible enough people just watch it regardless it succeeds.

if your concern was joker 2 would be capeshit then i can say pretty confidently that that's not very relevant to it. i think you should give it a try, i thought it was fine too.
